The Board of the Trustee-Manager has been informed by Mr. Zhang Zhencheng, Chairman and controlling shareholder of Trustee-Manager, as well as Aqua Wealth Holdings Limited ("Aqua Wealth"), a controlling unitholder of the Trust, that they had entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the "SPA") with New Harvest Investments Limited ("New Harvest") on 18 July 2021 in pursuance of the Sino-Ocean Capital Partnership.
